Two sides in the relegation battle are set to square off when Sheffield United host Luton Town on Boxing Day. Hosts Sheffield start this game bottom of the standings while Luton Town are 18th, the sides separated by two points. After a 1-1 draw with high-flying Aston Villa, Sheffield United will hope to build on the momentum. They should actually have won that away game, but conceded a stoppage time goal after taking the lead. With just two wins in the season, Sheffield United remains the side with the least league victories. They’ve also scored the least goals and conceded the most. After two straight away games, Sheffield United will be glad to be back at home. Their last home game ended in a 1-0 win over Brentford, with James McAtee scoring the lone goal.

Luton Town last met Sheffield United in the Premier League in 1991. In their most recent meeting, in the Championship, Luton Town won 1-0. That was their first win over Sheffield in seven matches. Three of their last five meetings ended in draws and Luton hopes to build on a two-game unbeaten run against Sheffield United. Coming into this game, Luton Town have shown a lot of fighting spirit against top sides. They took leads against Manchester City and Arsenal, though they eventually lost those matches. However, with great discipline, they beat Newcastle United 1-0 in their most recent game. Andros Townsend’s first half strike was enough for Luton to bag three points for only the third time this season.
